What the heck happened to it? Was it Richard Hillman's latest victim? She looks like a 3 year old who got hold of Mummy's scissors and decided to give herself a fringe.

I thought I was the only one......... it looked like something chewed on it for about an hour and she never even noticed. Awful....

True - the hair is like a bizarre helmet or something. And on a more serious note, they seem to have seriously miscast the actress. I appreciate that any actor approaching a role can appear wooden at first, but several weeks in, and she's still a plank of sycamore.

I was saying exactly the same to my wife tonight! her only method of acting is to grin inanely the whole time!

She is a terrible actress. I also noticed the hair, and the constant smiling.

Also she is been very hypocritical. She was caught in bed with another bloke by her husband, and she's playing the old high moral ground card with Peter!!!!

Quite agree with all of this and hate the overexaggerated northern accent. Let's hope Dreary Dierdre gives her a few more slappings (or maybe Limp Lucy) before she packs her bags and probably turns up in Crossroads where she could act badly to her heart's content.

Is she meant to be somebody who is one sandwich short of a picnic? Whatever the situation she seems to be standing there with that smile and the blank look in her eyes as though she's not quite sure what's going on.

Remember she took drugs when she was younger god only knows how many brain cells she has left

were those mind-altering drugs or face-altering drugs?

That might explain why she is such an unbelievable character. That or bad acting!

I think the consensus is bad acting. BTW I just saw her in a biscuit commercial this morning on ITV1.

come to think of it tracey was responsible for samir's death. samir and dierdre went off to morocco to run a bar but tracey went into a drug-induced coma and they returned to the uk.

while dreary sat at tracey's bedside samir went for a walk along the canal and got attacked (?killed). tracey got his kidneys.
